I, who lived in seclusion for thousands of years, was exposed by yearning

Chapter 437 Ragtime
Just as He Jiong finished speaking, Yixing's mobile phone rang, and a burst of cheerful piano bells rang.

Yixing glanced at the incoming call, got up and went to the side to pick it up, said two or three sentences, and walked back with a hint of excitement in his eyebrows.

"So happy as if I picked up money."

"Master, this makes me happier than picking up money."

Yixing heard Huang Lei's joke and then told him the good news he heard when he answered the phone:

"This call was made by my agent. He said that my idol watched the show and liked me on Weibo, and said that if there is a chance, he will cooperate with me and create together."

He doesn't know how to describe his current mood.

Just crazy happy.

His idol not only saw his show, but also said that he would cooperate with him, which is something he always dreams about.

It's finally coming true now! ! !
"Our family Yixing's wish finally came true. Congratulations." Huang Lei naturally knew Yixing's wish, and when he heard the news, he was also very happy for the child.

"Brother Yixing, congratulations."

"It's just saying there's a chance."

"There will be cooperation, and you must believe that you are also excellent."

"Yeah, brother Yixing, you are also very good, and there will definitely be cooperation."

"The plan can't keep up with the changes. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Let's treat it with a normal heart."

Ye Qing saw that several people were happy for Yixing, but he didn't congratulate like others.

Human beings will always congratulate and celebrate in advance for some things that have not yet been achieved.

But in his opinion, the congratulations and celebrations in advance are undoubtedly deepening disappointment, it is better to maintain a normal mind, otherwise, if the wish is not fulfilled, then the joy will be in vain.

"What the old man said is indeed good, just be happy first, and don't hold your expectations too high."

Huang Lei understood what the old man said, and nodded in agreement.

It's really not a good thing to be happy too early.

After all, it is only said that there is an opportunity to cooperate now, but it is not certain whether they will be able to cooperate in the end.

"If you come here with butterflies in full bloom, you will be a good boy, and your idol will see your excellence."

Ye Qing said, turned his eyes to Shang Yixing and smiled slightly, with affirmation in his words.

After admiring Yixing, he changed the subject:
"Yixing boy, do you like ragtime too?"

"Yes, this type of music is very casual, and its creation can make people feel extremely happy."

As soon as he answered, he opened a software that simulated musical instruments on his mobile phone.

He played a piece of music casually on the piano keys with his fingers.

It's just that this music is not like other music, it has no melody but it has a heavy rhythm.

And it sounds like what he said just now, this type of music makes people feel happy.

"Is this jazz?"

When He Jiong heard the music played by Yixing, he couldn't help nodding his head to follow the rhythm of the music.

After hearing this, Yixing put the phone back in his pocket and at the same time replied to He Jiong:
"Strictly speaking, ragtime is not jazz, it is an independent musical genre, but it has a huge influence on jazz."

What caused him to be interested in this type of music was none other than his idol Jie Tian Wang.

Because in one of Jie Tianwang's songs, this kind of music form is adopted.

"I heard this type of music in Jie Tianwang's music. I think this music form is very unique, so I learned about it."

"It seems that Yixing boy, your idol is very diverse in music."

After hearing this, Ye Qing became a little interested in the idol that Yixing admired.

Unexpectedly, not only the music style of Chopin, but also the music form of ragtime appeared in the music created by Yixing boy idol.

That child's musical attainments should not be small, and if he had the opportunity, he would also like to see how far that child's musical attainments could reach.

"Yes, his music is diversified, so he has always been invincible in the music world." Yixing said proudly with a smile.

"Now that we're talking about ragtime, old man, let me tell you something."

Ye Qing looked at it with a proud face, as if he was praised for his own pleasure, just smiled and explained to several people in detail:
"Ragtime was born at the end of the nineteenth century. It was only black music at the beginning. It became popular in the United States after the First World War. The early ragtime was only played by pianists alone. Speaking of this music The change should have started in the early 70s, starting with the Joplin kid."

"Joplin? King of Ragtime?"

"It seems that your child is more than understanding."

"I just looked it up when I saw Joplin's name when I was learning about it. It's just a pity that he died too early to leave a record. But what is certain is that he made a contribution to black music. made a huge contribution.”

"That's right. Ragtime is indeed prevalent not only among blacks because of Joplin, but also among whites in the end."

While sipping the tea in the cup, Ye Qing acknowledged Yixing's understanding.

He remembered that when the music genre of ragtime was born, many white people expressed their disdain for this kind of music with only rhythm and no melody.

But with Joplin's creation of ragtime, this type of music gradually became popular overseas, and it also changed the attitude of those white people towards black music.

After he finished speaking, he saw the ignorant expressions on the faces of several people, so he pursed his lips.

It seems that except for Yixing, the other children really don't know anything.

"Joplin, a black boy, was born in a musical family. When he was a child, he learned music from a musician in the neighboring beer country. Until his youth, because of his poor family, he went out to earn money by performing arts, During the wandering, the child became familiar with all kinds of black folk music.

Later, the kid went to St. Louis, where he played the piano in a bar where he was not the only performer, and it was at that time that he came into contact with ragtime and created ragtime. Some tunes, and it was at that time that his ragtime was liked by everyone and became a master of music. "

Although this black boy, like some children, wandered all over the world to make music because of his family background.

But this boy Hei was a child he felt very sorry for.

"Because you don't know him well, old man, I will tell you some things about him first. If you have time, you can go and see the opera "Trimonisa" written by him. The main musical component of this opera is Ragtime."

"Is this Tremonisa you speak of a Negro opera?"

"That kid is black, how dare he write about white people."

When Ye Qing spoke, his eyebrows were a little speechless.

This question is really too nonsense.

It's not that these children have never heard of racial discrimination overseas.

If it weren't for some people insisting that art is art and has nothing to do with race and country, those white people would still hold a contemptuous attitude towards black people.
